Master Records in buildcontrol: The Foundation of Streamlined Construction Management
The Master Records module in buildcontrol plays a crucial role in powering all other modules by offering a centralized location to store and manage core project data. This module ensures that every other function – from attendance tracking to material management – runs on consistent and reliable reference data. It helps construction companies maintain a well-organized structure across teams, vendors, equipment, and other key resources.
With Master Records, you gain the ability to create and manage essential entities that define your project’s framework. Here’s a detailed look at what this module includes:

- Role in the organization (such as Admin, Manager, Site Engineer)
- Their responsibilities can be clearly mapped, improving accountability and clarity across the workforce
Material & Category Management
Keep your materials well-organized by assigning them to categories such as Cement, Steel, Electrical, and Plumbing. Each material is:
- Defined with a unique name and assigned to a category
- Linked to a measurement unit (e.g., KG, Liter, Piece) to support inventory tracking

- Record features under common development such as entrance gates or parking zones
- Ensure these elements are considered during unit planning and project execution
Measurement Units & Work Types
To ensure consistency across modules like Material Management and Task Management:
- Users can define all standard units such as square feet, cubic meters, and pieces
- Work types like RCC, brickwork, plastering, and electrical installations are created here
- Each work type can be assigned to a relevant department for accurate planning
Equipment Information
Whether the equipment is company-owned or rented, its details can be saved centrally:
- Equipment name and specifications
- Fuel type, work capacity, and operating hours
- Maintenance history and associated operators or supervisors
Supplier and Contractor Quotations
Quotation management is also integrated into Master Records. Users can:
- Store detailed supplier and contractor quotes
- Link quotations to materials or work types
- Track validity, terms, and pricing for transparency and procurement planning
Designations
Organize your internal team structure by adding designations such as Project Manager, Architect, or Civil Engineer. These designations:
- Help in user access control and task assignments
- Ensure reporting and project workflows align with the organization’s hierarchy
Other Parties
Besides suppliers and contractors, users may interact with consultants, auditors, and other third-party stakeholders. This feature allows:
- Recording their contact and role details
- Associating them with specific projects when needed
Together, all these sub-modules make Master Records the backbone of buildcontrol, offering the data integrity and centralized setup needed to run complex construction operations efficiently. Whether you’re starting a new project or optimizing workflows mid-execution, this module ensures that every module draws from consistent, accurate data.
